Millions of farmers enrolled under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana are waiting for the 24th instalment. With October underway, discussions about the next ₹2,000 payment have intensified, with October 20 being mentioned as a possible date.
However, farmers should note that the government has not officially announced October 20 as the release date for the 24th instalment. The official PM-KISAN portal confirms that the 23rd instalment was released on June 20, 2026.
Why October 20 Is Being Discussed
The PM-KISAN scheme provides eligible farmer families with ₹6,000 per year in three equal instalments. The payments are generally released at intervals during the year.
Since the 23rd instalment was released on June 20, farmers are looking at October as the likely period for the next payment. October 20 is being discussed because it falls four months after the previous instalment.
This has led to expectations that the 24th instalment could be credited around that time. However, October 20 should not be treated as a confirmed payment date until an official announcement is made.
When Will the Government Announce the Date?
At present, there is no official confirmation of the 24th instalment release date on the PM-KISAN portal. The exact date will need to be confirmed by the concerned ministry through an official announcement.
Farmers should therefore rely on the official PM-KISAN website and government communications rather than treating dates circulating online as confirmed.
The official portal also provides a Know Your Status facility, through which registered farmers can check their payment and beneficiary-related information. eKYC is mandatory for PM-KISAN registered farmers.
